Gemstones that are used as chakra stones are mainly for balancing, activating, closing or opening the chakras. If you are lacking balance in some area, you may find that one or more of your chakras are to blame. Using the energies from certain gemstones can aid you in re-balancing and re-energizing that area.

Basically, any gemstone has the potential to be used when working with the chakras. The biggest considerations you should worry about when choosing your gemstones, are:
What quality will a certain gemstone lend to your chakra?
and
Which chakra would benefit most from that quality?
The gemstone color becomes less important than it’s properties. You will find, however, that most of the time, the qualities and properties of the chosen chakra stones will lean towards the color of the chakra in need.
